citizen. that Mr.. Plaisted has never, since be
came among US favored any public enterprise
contributing in any way to the success of any
public enterprise, done anything whatever for
the Improvement of the city, but has always
stood as snivelng, sneakiug fault-finder,
doing whatever he could to put brake upon
the wheels of progress. He talks in his paper
this week about the fact that the books OF
the assessors do not show as large valuation
of property this year as last, 1t is easily &C.
counted for, Mr.. Plsisted you could have

MILE RHEA.

This charming actress will present her best
character when she appears in Fairy Fingers.
Astounding in delightful Comedy, beautiful
sentiment, and strong situations; it is an over
whelming success everywhere. The Balti-
more Sun says of Mile Rhea in Fairy Fin
gers:
The play has the old-fashioned romantic
motive underlying its plot,-the impediments
to the union of two young hearts which re-
suit in temporary enlargement, but newt
ably are swept away to permit blissful
elimination. In some cases the obstacles
to earlier matrimony, are proposed
by the designing villain; in the present in
stance, by ambitious parents. In some the
hero makes the sacrifice; in this it is the
heroine. Alike in all, the constancy of the
one who goes forth is misconstrued into per-
fdy bv the other, and the Misunderstanding
is cleared up with the defeat of the opposing
forces. In Fairy Fingers a duchess turns
dressmaker; and her pecuniary success as a
modiSte enables her to marry the man she
loves, despite the contrary plans of the dow
ager. Rhea is the heroine, of course,
and makes charming figure
for the dsplayment of several be-
wildering toilets The associate ladies of the
cast are tastefully, even elegantly, dressed J.;
and the lavish show of fine apparel in the
millinery scene caused all the glasses of the
ladies in the audience to be levelled at the
stage. Mile. Rhes plays with natre grace
and charming address; and making no at
tempt to be melodramatc in the mild climaxes
of the play, is consistently and agreeably un-
denonstrative Buffalo Express.

Giant Boyines.

Undoubtedly the largest pair of oxen in
the world passed through this town on the
freight train today, enroute for the Bangor
Fair. These monster kings of the bovine
race were raised in Vermont. and will be ex-
hibited on the Fair Grounds. They measure
ten feet in girth, and actually weigh the enor
nous amount of 1000 pounds. 1t cost tc
raise them up to their great weight, over
$1,000. These cattle should be seen by ev.
cry farmer in Maine and lesson learned.
Notwithstanding that they are very fat, and
estimated to dress over $500 pounds and each
OK is carrying nearly 400 pounds of rough
tallow, they are not desirable beef, not being
worth as much per pound dressed weight in
the markets of the world as some of our fine
fat Hereford steers, that will be on exhibit
ton, and whose girth will not exceed seven
feet, or live weight l,500 pounds, even if nc
more than two years of age. Young beef i:

CLOSING THE SHOPS.
Another Successful Raid on the Gardiner
Hum sellers-An 0nicer Who Can Catch
the Ardent ON the Fly.

Another batch of Gardiner liquor sellers
were caught mapping by the deputy sheriffs
Saturday evening and their several stocks of
liquors fell into the officers lands 1t was
very neatly done. The search warrants were
obtained at Judge Stevens court and signed
by Sheriff c. r. McFadden. The hour was
7.30 P. NJ, when the Saturday night crowd
was out in full force and thirsty ones were
making their first calls at the shops; the
officers, Deputy Sherifs Ames, Maddox,
Norton and Sunson. The following places
were visited and seizures made:
Cooks drug store, two gallon jug of alco-
hol, one demijohn part full of alcohol.
NcGrath's, six quart bottles full of rum,
two gallon jug containing two quarts of rum
Boulgers, two quart bottles, one part full
of rum.
Merrils. tumbler full of whiskey and
pitcher part full.
The surprise was complete aud the liquor
sellers evidently did not have the least sus-
picion of what was in store for them
At Boulanger's one man who was in the act
OF disposing of the cobwebs in his throat, was
SHSdttu OUT VI MS drink. Oncer MADDOX
burst in the door just as glass had been
filled for him, and appropriated it.
At Merril's drinking was also in progress
and when the bar tender saw the officer, who
was no other than Marshal Norton, he threw
pitcher of whiskey into the air which the
officer who evidently knew how to play base
ball, took very neatly on the fly. portion
of the liquor was spilled, however, drenching
him from head to foot.
The dealers will be arranged in Judge
Stevens court, Chelsea, at P. NJ. today. As
the result of the first heavy seizure recently
made at Gardiner, $1,000 have been paid into
the county treasury by the trapped liquor
dealers, and three of them have closed out
their business and left the State, viz. Messrs.
Dumphy, Glass and Hall. Who says the
liquor law is not being enforced?
1t is not likely that the payment of spec
ial liquor dealers tax will be used as evil
dence at the coming term OF the Superior
Court There will be no letup in the war
on the illegal traffic and a cloud of witnesses
have been summoned.
